perfected in this acclaimed spin-off of the STARGATE SG-1 series, itself spun-off from the 1994 blockbuster from director Roland Emmerich. In STARGATE: ATLANTIS, an international crew of scientists and soldiers finds yet another Stargate... One which leads to the Lost City of Atlantis. This Stargate, though, isn't on Earth but in the far-away Pegasus Galaxy, and the secret city holds a formidable new enemy--the Wraith. This release includes the complete series.

Advantages: Good cast, great stories, Dvd extras to make you laugh Disadvantages: the box covers a bit of a pain.
I'm a huge Stargate fan. So much so that I refused to defile my love of the gate by buying into spin offs (even if technically sg1 is a spin off, hush!) Now that Stargate sg1 is finished I found my self at a loss as to where to get my next Stargate fix before the new movies come out. I decided to give in and bought StargateAtlantis Season One.
I went into this as a total skeptic. I'm terrible for trying to pick things apart. So in went the first disc. The first episode starts with some amazing special effects and throws in Jack O'neil and Daniel Jackson as if to say "Its ok, don't worry, it will be fine, we promise" And I have to admit, after the first five minutes of trying to set up the story so those new to the whole Stargate thing (possibly people from a different planet?) could follow it, it got good!
After one episode I was ...
Advantages: Amazing storys Disadvantages: Have to watch sg1 to understand it better
StargateAtlantis Is the new show by MGM and has been an amazing hit with fans from SG1 which has now finished but StargateAtlantis can carry on the legacy as it has an amazing story line and new and interesting plots and surprises.
The cast consists of:
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard
Dr. Rodney McKay
Teyla Emmagan
Dr. Elizabeth Weir
Dr. Carson Beckett
Ronon Dex
These characters are younger than the cast in Stargate sg1 and is more for the younger generation as it adds a new slick modern look to the show.
The new enemy "THE WRAITH" have been a big success and have a more cooler look than the Gauld who have been getting a bit repeative in the show.
Overall this show is a big success and will last as long as Stargate
sg1 did :)
This is a great show for all ages and you should take a look. ...
Advantages: More family friendly than SG1 Disadvantages: Loses some intensity
An excellent idea, spin off series from Stargate SG1. A highly successful series with a cult following.
Set in a new galaxy, led by a civilian, with a young cast. This gives it more of the family element, but risks losing some of the cult following.
The new galaxy element gives it, essentially, the same premise as SG1 - use the Stargates to explore, and battle with a sinister enemy.
Introducing the Wraith - the species that forced the Ancients to leave this galaxy and head to Earth (was coming here really a good idea?)
Thankfully for the fans, the main elememts of the show stay true to the original - meeting new races with their own experiences of the Wraith, forming alliances, making enemies (since awakening the Wraith, the teams are often the bringers of bad news for worlds unprepared for an attack so soon.), and fighting ...
